Acupuncturist's Clinical Handbook

"Jeffrey Jacob has put together a useful reference manual that will serve both acupuncture students and practitioners alike. It's great to have so much information presented so concisely. Definitely a benefit to have in the clinic." -- Lonny Jarrett, author of "Noruishing Destiny" and "The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine"

'Not a theory book, but a book written with the purpose of easy clinical access, this text will serve as a quick reference and reminder when looking for information on acupoints and treatments. 'In addition to basic data, such as a section on TCM Zang Fu diagnosis, the author has included Taoist energetics and clinically based findings. 'The descriptions include concise sections on the acupoint energetics, the command points, the primary meridians, the extraordinary vessels, the luo, sinew and divergent channels, and common techniques such as ear, scalp, electro-acupuncture, moxibustion and ion pumping. This book is one of the best books presenting information from the perspective of Taoist energetics. For example, the point energetics are Taoist in nature and the sections on the secondary vessels are based completely on Taoist interpretation. The section covering differentiation of syndromes is presented with lists and columns for ease of access. The final section covers Shang Han Lun differentiation' - Redwing Reviews
